Need Help in uploading software

2012-12-20, 08:20 AM

Hello,

I am new to VPS. I am a trader and I trade on Forex markets. I have a trading software which I got from the broker. I want to run it online 24/7. Since it was difficult for me to keep the computer running all the time, I signed up for the Windows VPS.

Since I am totally new, I will be grateful if anyone could teach me how to:

1. Access my VPS windows platform
==============
> To access your Windows VPS:
1) Log into https://manage.myhosting.com with the username and password you supplied during signup.
2) Click the Windows VPS tab (if you don't see this, select your Windows subscription from the dropdown list at the top right of the screen.
3) On the Windows VPS tab, you'll see a download link for RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). Download that file and run it.
4) Remote desktop window will ask you for your VPS password. Grab this password from the Windows VPS tab you downloaded from.
5) Now you should be logged into your VPS!

2. Install my software there.
==============
> The software can be installed like any other by downloading the install file and running it either from Metatrader's website or from your broker.

Some brokers offer the software explicitly so it is recommend you contact your broker before installing to see if they provide it. While myhosting.com provides the VPS server and will support the server itself, the network and infrastructure, support for MetaTrader software and Forex trading must come from MetaTrader/Metaquotes or your broker.

3. Keep it running 24/7
==============
> instead of logging out of your remote desktop, simply disconnect instead. This will keep your desktop session running permanently unless you manually choose to log off or the server is rebooted (we will notify you well before any routine maintenance so be sure to keep an eye out for those notifications!).
